Hi Christian, Fathers and sons could--and often did-- have different last names. Here's a good resource on the topic:
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~azrwgw/research-aids-m---z/naming-practices-of-the.html As for the name in the photo you posted, I think that it may be Antonio de Souza Netto ... and then it does look like "Adam" but that seems unlikely... perhaps someone else can suggest something better? The groom was 19, and the bride 26, and IIRC both were born in the same freguesia, so you should be able to find their baptisms fairly easily. good luck!
